The revised Sol diers' Pensions Bill, providing for a pensions tribunal and a pensions ap peal court where the claims of dis abled veterans will receive sympathe tic attention, passed its third reading In the Canadian Senate. II. W. Laird of Regina said that ft had always been the proud boast of the Canadian people that their ex-service men had received as gen erous treatment as the veterans of any country in the late war, and In many respects better treatment. As time went on, said the senator, there might be a disposition among the new generation to forget what was due the men who had carried the burden of the warn but he hoped that such would not be the case. Necessities of the situation might force Canada to bear the semblance of burdens placed upon the United States after the Civil War, but he bought this should be avoided as far as possible. He pointed out that expenses Incurred on behalf of re turned soldiers were as follows: Pensions already paid, $408,000,- 000. Soldiers' re-establishment, $187,- 000,000. Loss on land settlement, $30,000,- 000. Net loss on life insurance, $900,- 000. A total of $625,900,000. The success of the revised Pension Act was much of an experiment and its success would depend in a great measure on the attitude of the veterans' representatives before the tribunal. "If they cooperate," he concluded, with the Government in seeking only what is fair, and while de manding justice at the same time have some regard for the eternal fit ness of things they will have per formed a worthy service on behalf of the men they represent and also assist in carrying out the generous intentions of Parliament." DRYS SAID TO BE GAINING Rochester, Minn. Liquor drink ing decreases as prohibition talk in creases, Dr. James Doran, federal commissioner of prohibition, de clared in an address here Thursday night before the third annual con vention of the First district, Min nesota Women's Christian Temper ance union. Dr. Doran said liquor consumption is less than a year ago and it will be still less in another year, he predicted. "America," he aid, "is the only country In the world that had nerve enough to tackle the liquor problem effectively. England v attempted to control the matter by limiting the hours of sale and Canada attempts solution by government sale, hut both methods fall short of the mark." Canada's act this week of stop ping legal exportation of liquor to the United States was lauded by Commissioner Doran as a "gracious and friendly act," which has assisted greatly.

Cox is Advocate of Dry Law Re peal, He Says Former Governor of Ohio Indicates Preference for Government Manufacture. Columbus, O. Former Governor Jaes M. Cox of Dayton, democratic presidential nominee in 1920, declar ed for repeal of the federal prohibi tion amendment here Thursday night. Addressing a state wide gathering of democrats at a victory dinner in his capacity as chairman. Cox said: "The people will never change the existing order by bringing back the saloon, nor will private interests ever again be permitted to become selfish- lv allied on any side of this issue. With this understanding, I unhesi tatingly favor the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. As between the old saloon order, with its brewery-controlled politics and what not, and the present setup I would prefer the latter. But we all prefer not be ing compelled to choose between these two extremes. Both are impos sible." Cox indicated his preference for government manufacture and control of alcoholic liquor in a declaration that there is need of another govern mental provision, which shall "in plain terms, prohibit the manufac ture of traffic in alcoholic liquors anywhere in America by private or corporate interests. Disagreeing with Dwight W. Mor row, republican senatorial candidate In New Jersey, Cox said the federal government now has control over in terstate traffic that would prohibit shipments from a "wet state into a dry one. Morrow was quoted as say ing there -was need for such restric tion. Tho many of Mr. Cox's friends have been 'urgrng him to 'seek elec tion to ''the United States senate, he declared he Villnot be a 'candidate i El f 5S'S$.$ -a i vzizmsrr 4, SS v.v- A little city surrounds the home. It has Its own heat, light and power plant, a laundry and a bakery. A fine dairy herd of 60 cows provides milk and cream for the institution,.. The, lands of the home comprise B 40 acres, 450 of them under cultivation. Three irrigation wells insure loss of crops from dry weather.

A well equip ped hospital ministers to 'the needs. of the sick. The oldest member of the home is Mary A. Burger of St. Paul who will reach the century mark on May 25, 1931. A new administration building will be erected within the next six months at a cost of $60,000. Ivan S. Gallant, a Spanish-American war veteran, is superintendent. The Milford home was opened in 1S95 with a membership of 10. The for any office. He also eliminated himself as a possible candidate for governor "The suggestion of a return to executive duties is unnecessary, and any idea of standing for the senate is entirely out of line with my plans from the vantage ground of private life to aid the cause of liberal gov ernment," Cox said. Jouett Shouse, chairman of the na tional democratic executive commit tee, before entering on a criticism of the tariff bill now before congress declared democrats are confident of victory this fall, "because we knowr the people are tired of the record of the poor judgment, indecision, feeble ness and inefficiency that has char acterized the present administration." "They are dissatisfied with a re publican congress that has failed ofi important legislation and "with a re publican president, who has shown himself incapable of leading and whose total of administration is so nearly a cipher," he said. Mr. Cox stressed the same idea by, asserting that the complete failure of the party in power . turns the public thought back to the principles of Jefferson, Jackson and Wilson." Turning to state matters. Cox re ferred to the recent penitentiary fire which resulted in the deaths of more than 300 convicts, asking if it is not a "sad commentary" that these deaths had to occur "before the state "was reminded of what "was done seven teen years ago as protection against the probabilities of such a disaster." Cox, as governor, had planned a new prison at the present London farm which was not carried thru by his successors. He charged petty politics witn being responsible for incom- pletion of the project.
